Thei'e has bc-en much comment among the students about the be havior of tho Student Body in gen eral ul the lecture which wo were re()uirel to attend lust week. Many students Ijave expressed tho opinion that the order in the chapel was not wliat it should have been. Perhaps tho disorder was due to the inability of some of the students to hear? A few students who criticized have said that some of the students’ man- jif!r.s were very questionable to say tlie least. We wonder if these re- mai'ks wore justifiable? INSPIRATION Have you over noticed tho riot of color in tho woods just hack of our class rooms? if you arc lucky enough to room on the eastern side of tlie campus, the trees, just at this time of the year, dressed, in their au- tunuml clothes uiid growing on a rather uneven hillside, inspire you to do your best in everythiugl The scenc is ono we should take advan tage of; and there are many views just as beautiful and lovely around ilei'odith. Tho glowing sunsets that we liave are unrivalled. One has only to look out to the west in the late afternoon to realize this. Tho landscapes and scenery of Meredith are ones from which, wc can obtain enthusia.sni and joy in life. THE INTERNATIONAL MIND We feel sometimes that we are rather shut off from the affairs of the world in the busy routine of col lege life. While we are studying the products of ancient years, the litera ture and history, wc forget that men are accomplishing things today and that tilings are now happening. We should road more modern novels, and more newspaper and magazine ai’ticles. By reading more of the thoughts and actions of the people of tho world we may grasp more of the international mind. The inter national mind is tho attitude of mind which all leaders of the world wide movement for peace are striving to establish. Many thinking men and women of today have expressed the opinion it will take the world at least five hundred years to again reaeii tho i^oiut in progress which it had reached in 1914. This is suf ficient reason for the attempt to fur ther friendly relations between na tions; the best way to secure peace is to develop world, wide ways of thijiking.

Foreigners may own oil wells provided they will sign an agreement not to go to their governments for aid in case of difilcultles. This ownership is limited to fifty years from the time the act was passed; thus, Mexico is looking forward with longing and eag- erneas to the time when these years will have rolled around and Mexico will be for the Mexicans.
